[I think this is an erroneous reference to Livingstone Johnson]
Request hearing be postponed until counsel of own choosing available (means bail money tied up).
Don't go into trial without lawyer -- need record clear for appeal.
Can ask for postponement, even when come up for hearing.

Don't get released, unless some friends there to receive them.
